***Please watch out before you join this gym! They are definitely scam artists!

My friend *Charlie had won a membership to The Ladies Premier Fitness in Centerville near the Dayton mall, and over the phone, he was told he won 250 dollars and (I do believe) a free membership that extended to my friend *Jessie and I. In person, he had actually won only 200, and the con artist (I can't remember his name, so I'll call him Dave) said Charlie could use the 200 dollars towards the entrance fee of 250 dollars, and Jessie and I could pay the other 25, or all three of us could put in 20. I knew I was going to be moving 500 miles away for college but I figured I could join this gym and cancel, but maybe rejoin at a location nearby my college since Dave had insisted we could cancel whenever we wanted. And Dave said each month we had a locked fee of 25 dollars, but the first month was free. Charlie and I paid in 20 dollars, and Jessie said she was going to do the trial and see if she liked the gym or not before she paid in, so we only paid in 240 and she gave him no bank information for him to withdraw any money. And when we were lead around the gym, Dave kept making flirty passes at me that made me feel very uncomfortable, touching me unnecessarily (not in sexual places, but come on, he didn't need to be touching me at all) and complimenting my body while basically humiliating my friends (they are bigger people) in front of me, especially during our conference with him in regards to what we wanted to work on. And the one time we went to the location in Centerville, I felt very uncomfortable with Dave around, and according to Jessie he was trying to get a glimpse of my back side as I was walking around a corner. Professionalism, people! This gym sent Jessie a bill for 25 dollars, even though we never technically joined, especially her who didn't even pay a cent. I went into cancel today (it's been around a month, and it was before my stunning realization we didn't even completely pay the entrance fee) and the workers told me I could not cancel because there is only a three day gap before you can't cancel, and we are (unknowingly) locked into a three-year contract. So I called National Fitness (who runs Ladies Premier Fitness) and the woman that answered said "There is no way out of a legal contract." and that was about it. There is a lot wrong with that statement legally, but if I went into it then this would be a lot longer of a complaint. We are going in Monday to have a very serious discussion with Dave, this is not a joke and we are not going to simply let this die.

The gym is lovely but these people will say anything to get you join, even if it means to lie to you. Take it from me. I hope this helped!

I signed with Premier Fitness in Huber Heights, Ohio on 3-21-04. Due to back injuries I was forced to put a freeze on my membership on 8-11-04. I had went in on that date 8-11-04 to speak with the manager she is the one in which explained on how to place the freeze and how it works. I explained to her that I would have to undergo a number of back surgeries to correct my injuries. She explained that it would be ok that my membership would still be ok for the freeze puts a hold on my membership and the time I didn't get to use would be there once I got a release from my doctor.

Well I paid my membership off 3-21-07, I got a release to do light workouts from my doctor the 3rd week of Feb,08. I called National Fitness to remove my freeze and Brooklynn told me that it was canceled and I would have to re-sign. I explained what took place and she told me to give her a few days and she would get it took care of. After 3 dayts no phone call. I have an answering machine on my house phone and I gave her my cell. So, I called her. It was now Thursday Feb,28,08.

She was rude and told me that I was not gonna get the 31 months in which I had left of un-used time. I asked to speak with her manager and she told me that she was the only one I could go thru. We had words. She refused me my membership number as well. I waited until the next day and I called back hoping to speak with a Superviser but, the ladie that answered put me back with Brooklyn.

On March 6,08 I recieved a letter in the mail dated 2-29-08 stating thank you for your recent inquiry about my membership with Premier Fitness Huber. It said' we have new information regarding my inquiry '. It then said ' We have been unable to reach you, Please call 800-825-7727 to resolve this issue '. I called ASAP. I spoke with Dwayne. I went over all of this with him. I was on hold back n forth with him for over 1 hr. He was trying to get me a Supervisor. He also explained that I had within 1 year after my membership was paid to to undo my freeze. I told him I was within the year and still had over a month left and I asked why is that not part of the contract and why I was not notified of this new rule? He said ' he did not know and he said his-self he didn't understand why I wasn't getting honored my time I paid for and was unable to use. He then put me on hold again and came back and he said ' They were all very busy and one would return my call within 24 hrs. I thanked him and I made sure I told him he was very polite. I had already told him what I had went through with Brooklynn.

Well it's 24 hrs later still no call. It's time for me to call The Attorney's General's Office, The BBB in both are and my own Attorney.
